Subject: Request for help from Lex Loep and other ChessPartner Experts

I am new to the ChessPartner GUI, and I have the latest upgrade v5.2 installed.
I'm trying to use this GUI for overnight analysis using Tiger 15 of several
games from a PGN database. I'm having a number of problems:

1. How does one "mark" specfic games within a database for analysis? The
analysis wizard offers to either analyze only the current game or an entire
selected database, but there is no obvious way of selecting a specific set of
games.

2. How does one make the GUI write the analysis results to a database with the
entire game(s) so that they may be viewed or re-played later? Fritz usually
offers "append" or "overwrite" options, but I see none in CP. I see a request
for a "log" file, but this log file does not store the entire game, it seems to
store only the annotations generated by the chess engine. The capability to
replay the analyzed game with annotations seems to be lacking.

3. How does one command the engine to write the annotations as variations that
we can play through? I see an option for this on the wizard screen, but it is
garyed out and inaccessible.

4. The ChessPartner GUI does not seem to indicate the numerical scores for
alternate lines suggested by the engine. A score is computed and stored only for
the line actually played in the game. It is not possible to know how much better
the alternate line suggested by the engine is compared to line played in the
game.

5. Is there a way to get engine to evaluate multiple alternate lines during a
full game analysis and report a top 2 or 3 cloices?

6. How does one make CP store sub-variations during analysis?

The features I've listed above make Fritz a superb analysis tool and the choice
for analysis among serious players. I hope that most of these are available in
CP and that I'm just missing them because of my inexperience with the GUI. The
on-line HELP menu is completely un-helpful in this regard.

Any help will be deeply appreciated.
